A hidden treasure of Brazilian music. The phantom album that was meant to be her major-label American debut. After 45 years, Joyce's 1977 recordings have finally seen release. Seven tracks in all, including an 11-minute version of "Femenina." Produced by Claus Ogerman. Raw, physical momentum, a singular sense of time, and an abundance of fresh appeal.

A full-scale recording made at Columbia Studios in NYC, centered on JOYCE MORENO — one of Brazil's most beloved singers — and Mauricio Maestro, who played in Luiz Eça's La Familia Sagrada, was active in Brazilian progressive rock pioneers such as Paulo Claudio E Mauricio, and went on to found BOCA LIVRE. Nana Vasconcelos and Joyce's husband TUTTY MORENO are among the participating musicians, with orchestral arrangements and production by Claus Ogerman, known for his work with Antonio Carlos Jobim. Ogerman intended to finish the album with Joyce re-recording her vocals in English for the American market, but various circumstances got in the way and the record was shelved, never released. Following the 1976 recording "Visions Of Dawn," another of Brazilian music's greatest hidden treasures comes to light. Had it come out, it would have changed history. Vinyl reissue. Back in stock.
